I found this Blog through Annalysa…We have known each other
for about…….well, since she was 4…=D

I am a Christian 17 year old high school graduate. And I am planning
on staring college in the fall =D

My sister taught me piano basics when I was….8… I think? I
started taking from Annalysa’s Mom when I was 10 =D I am currently not taking
lessons though I still love to play =D

I started learning the flute a little while back (so if
there is anyone who knows how to play the flute I would be happy for any advice
as I am trying to teach myself) 0.o

I also have to say that I love the Piano Guys =D

There is not much else to say…..

Other than playing the Piano and squeaking on the Flute I
enjoy reading, my cat, cleaning my house (when it is not full of people),
hanging with my family, playing Ultimate Frisbee, writing and talking…

Yes, I know this is totally unrelated to music, but I thought y'all might be interested. I found The Valentine Card Challenge through The Rebelution, so you rebelutionaries have probably already seen this, but it's so simple! Make/buy a Valentine's Day card, write in it, and send it off, where it will be sent to children in prisons/orphanages. Please check it out and do at least one!!! :)

Hey People,I'm Eden and I am here, thanks
to Annalysa, to introduce myself. There's not too much to say about me,
I'm 16, a Christian, one of 7 children, and I'm a singer.Some
of the things I enjoy doing include ballet, singing/music, swimming,
being with my amazing family, talking, laughing, and much more.

After
having a strong base in piano, I moved on and started singing lessons
in Feburary of 2013. I am mostly classical, but I also sing Broadway, a
little jazz, contemporary, etc.

So yeah... that pretty much sums up my "music life." ;)

Thanks Eden! :) Be sure to check out her blog, Eden's Evaluations,and her video of "The Holy City" on the "Video" tab. If you want to be featured in an "Introduce Yourself" post, email me at musicwriter941@gmail.com

So I was wondering if I could get enough content to have Musical Mondays (every Monday)? People submit their videos of covers, original songs, performances, etc. Do you think we would have enough content and be able to keep MM going for a while? I'd love to hear your thoughts and ideas for the blog!!! This is a community, not a single-writer blog. If you're a blogger and would like to help with the posts or moderate, let me know! :)

P.S. Be on the lookout this Saturday for an Introduce Yourself post from my friend, Eden, at Eden's Evaluations! Remember, if you want to do an Introduce Yourself post, email me at musicwriter941@gmail.com!

Hi I'm Hope, and I found out about this blog through The Rebelution,
where some of us got carried away talking about music and clubs and what
not. And now we have a blog, thanks Annalyse!!

I technically play
several instruments, but the core instruments I play would be the cello
and the piano. I started piano when I was 6 (I'm now 16). I started the
cello 3 years ago, with also a 8 month pause due to cello injuries (and
it just rebroke..cello repairs are so expensive!!) I played clarinet for
3 years during middle school/early high school, and also the penny
whistle (way to go Annalyse!). I love all these different instruments,
some more than others, but they are all unique, fun, and I'll admit
challenging at times!

While I'm definitely not a composer, I love to
play by ear and make stuff up on the piano. Most of my music experience
comes from many opportunities I have been given in my church to serve.
The more opportunities that have opened, the more I have had to
practice, and It has definitely stretched me. So I would encourage you
to embrace your instrument(s) and learn as much as you can about it and
go all out for God's glory. You never know how He might allow you to
impact others through music and how you might get to serve Him! Never
stop pushing yourself!

Thanks so much, Hope! If you want to do an "Introduce Yourself" post, email me at musicwriter941@gmail.com.

So I'd like to do an "Introduce Yourself" post on someone different every week so if you want to do one, send me an email at musicwriter941@gmail.com. I'm sure we'd all like to get to know each other!

Since I'm here, I thought I might as well introduce myself...

My name is Annalysa and I'm 15 years old. I play piano, violin, cello, penny whistle, and I'm working on guitar. We have a banjo and an accordion and I have an ocarina but I haven't really progressed on those quite yet. My ocarina is mainly for playing around since it only plays an octave and a half...not too easy to play hard songs with.

I started playing piano when I was 2, violin when I was 6, and cello just last Christmas (not 2014, but 2013...okay, two Christmases ago, then) and penny whistle is kind of a hobby I picked up after I watched The Willis Clan play. Not that I'm as good as Jet, but I hope to be sometime.

I love music and just found that I could compose music last Mother's Day. I've written several songs too, and I hope to get a CD out one of these days, although by the time I actually do get it out, it'll probably be more on iTunes than CD. Does anyone actually use CD's anymore besides me and my family? :)

I'm really excited to get to know other like-minded musicians who love music as much as I do - who knows, maybe we'll be able to get to meet each other in person sometime! :)

Anyway, that's a little bit about me. I want to hear from y'all too, so send me an email if you want to do an "Introduce Yourself" post! I hope to post one every Saturday if I get enough!! :)

Hey everyone!!! :) Okay, here it is! I will hopefully work on it little by little until it doesn't look like a generic blog but feel free to start chatting in the comments!!! :) Use this post to introduce yourself in the comments :)
